2016 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · BX16 ABK

This Citroën Relay has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, culminating in a clean pass on 18 September 2025 at 82,765 miles. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and passed all statutory inspections without mechanical or structural concerns. However, the duplicate entry for September 2022—where the vehicle was tested twice on the same date—indicates either an administrative error or a rare oversight in the system, though it does not reflect on the vehicle’s condition. The mileage progression of approximately 8,276 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage increases steadily from 60,652 miles in September 2022 to 82,765 miles in September 2025, covering the expected range without unusual gaps. This pattern implies consistent driving habits rather than neglect or extended storage, though the lack of service intervals beyond MOTs means some wear items may not have been pre-emptively addressed. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. Structural integrity should also be assessed for signs of corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, as these areas are critical for long-term reliability. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions tests historically do not catch minor failures until they become more pronounced.
